Are you going into sixth form soon, and wondering which subjects to do? We've consulted some experts for advice<p>It's that nailbiting time of the school year when prospective sixth-form students must choose which A-levels to do. Those who plan to go on to university will be hoping to pick the perfect combination that will ensure a place on their course of choice.</p><p>But it's hardly surprising if, aged 15, you don't have much of an idea what degree you want to do, let alone the shape of your future career.

Is your job over when the exam is over, or do you have a responsibility for their success (or otherwise) in the next phase of their lives, be it higher education or employment? Could you have prepared them better for what is to come?</p><p>For many, A levels are a hoop to jump through; a passport to the next phase.
